Gmail is red & White, as well as the new Youtube (by Google) is now just a red rectangle with a white play button in the middle. G+ being red & white makes sense, though I do agree I kind of prefer the old logo.

I'm actually really excited about the currently typing feature in Messenger. I came from a BB and that was one of my favorite features of BBM and I'm hoping Messenger (should still be Huddle) will get to the level of BBM.

I'd be happy if I could just get "push" notifications in messenger. I agree it would be a great BBM competitor, except that I sometimes don't get notifications for new messages until several HOURS later.

I've been shocked that this hasn't been fixed yet. Hopefully this update addresses that...but I'm not holding my breath.
